After nearly 9 years of daily global access to our domain industry publication matched with consistent growth, our audience is about to shrink by 10%.
Thanks to GDPR and its ridiculously over-reaching clauses, a decision has been made to block all European Union traffic, effective tomorrow, May 25th, 2018.
GDPR is an Orwellian dream, as it gives the European central government the ability to assume control of content located outside of its direct jurisdiction, all in the name of “data privacy.”
The effects of GDPR in global business, including domain investing and investigation of cybercrime and online fraud, are enormous.
Unfortunately, the US government and ICANN were caught asleep at the wheel, and were unable to fend off this cross-Atlantic invasion devised by Eurocrat bureaucrats, at a political level.
Beginning at 00:00 Eastern time on May 25th, 2018, traffic from the following countries will be blocked from accessing DomainGang.com:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
With great apologies to our faithful readership in these countries, that will most likely utilize proxies and VPN access to peruse our daily content.
